Practical information

Latin language and Roman law

21–22 September 2023

Workshop venue: Maison de la Recherche, Université Toulouse Jean Jaurès, 5 Allées Antonio Machado,

31100 Toulouse, room E 422-423, 4th floor (the venue is the same as for the International Colloquium on Latin Linguistics in 2015).

Maison de la recherche (you will arrive from the other side)

To get there from the Metro line A station “Mirail Université” (5 min.): go straight on, before the arch turn to the right, go alongside the brick building (University library). The Maison de la recherche is the white building. Pass through the building to the end where you will find lifts (4th floor).

How to get

– FROM THE AIRPORT TO THE CITY CENTER (to your hotel)

Tram T2 to Arenès + metro: it is the most economical and practical means. The tram station is located in front of the terminal C building. Buy a ticket (see below) in the ticket machine. You will have to validate your ticket on board. Get off the tram at the “Arenès” station (not at “Arenès romaines”) where you find connections with the metro line A (there are escalators and lifts). The entrance is on your left hand side. You have to validate your ticket in the tourniquet in order to enter the metro but it counts as a connecting journey, not as another trip. The tram runs approx. every 12 min. For getting to the city center (e.g. metro A station Capitole), count 45 min.

When travelling back to the airport, make sure that you are taking the Tram 2, direction Airport, not Tram 1. Please remember that the ticket must be validated in the tram even if you have previously validated in the metro.

There is a choice between different tickets:

single ticket (aller simple) 1,80 €             return ticket (aller retour) 3,50 €

3 consecutive days 13,50 €                       10 journeys (10 déplacements) 15,10 €

The 10 journeys ticket can be shared by two (or more) people; in this case, you should validate it twice.

There are ticket machines at the tram station; you can pay cash or by card.

– FROM THE CITY CENTER or THE ARENE METRO STATION TO THE UNIVERSITY LE MIRAIL

Take the metro line A, direction Basso Cambo, get off at “Mirail Université”.

The metro in Toulouse is very frequent: it runs every 2, maximum 3 minutes. It can be crowded; in such a case, you will have to wait for the next train. Journey from Arenes to Mirail Université takes 8 minutes.
